Chapter 173: A Terrifying Beast

Time flies, and in the anticipation of all the Array Dao Masters, the Array Dao Master Competition hosted by the Nine Star Gate has finally officially begun.

The venue of the competition was on a high ground three kilometers north of Tiandu City, and many famous formation geniuses participated in this competition.

The disciples of the great sects who were originally in Tiandu City also went to watch the game.

But this game is not the point, the main thing is after the game.

The powerhouses of the major sects will gather together to discuss the matter of the Ancient Sealing Array.

The reason why the venue for the game was chosen in this place was also because it was close to the Great Sealing Array.

Those who have won the ranking in the Array Dao Master Competition can not only get the rich rewards issued by the Nine Star Gate, but also participate in this discussion, and also have the opportunity to participate in the next action to strengthen the seal.

Although Ling Hao was invited by Zhou Tiance, he did not accept it, nor did he come to watch the game without any disappointment.

In a place like this where strong people gather, he would not rashly set foot in it, otherwise the exposure of his true cultivation would only be a trivial matter, and once he was targeted, it would be a real dead end.

Halfway through the game, where the Ancient Seal Great Array was located, a ghostly light suddenly erupted.

The disciples of the Nine Star Sect, who had originally stayed in the Sealing Array for real-time observation, hurriedly ran over to report the news, and without knowing what was going on, the Sealing Array suddenly accelerated its collapse.

Because of such a thing, the game was forced to be suspended, and Zhou Tiance took the disciples of the Nine Star Sect to rush towards the place where the sealing array was located as soon as possible, only to find that there was already a gap in the sealing array.

The gap is still expanding, and it may not take more than a day for an ancient beast to emerge from the sealing array.

The accident caught people off guard, even if everyone expected such a situation, they didn't expect it to be so soon.

The master of the Nine Star Sect did not come this time, and it was the Great Elder Zhou Tiance who was in charge of leading the team.

When such a thing happened, Zhou Tiance immediately ordered the disciples in the sect to repair the sealing array.

However, without knowing the structure of the sealing array, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make much difference, although they could slow down the cracking of the gap, they were never able to restore the sealing array.

Everyone was in a hurry, but there was nothing they could do.

Except for the disciples of the Nine Star Sect who were responsible for repairing the sealing array, the rest of the disciples of the major sects were on guard, waiting for the ancient fierce beasts to rush out of the sealing array, and then encircle and suppress them as soon as possible.

If you want to repair the sealing array perfectly, you must have a very thorough understanding of this sealing array, and in the case that the original formation layout technique has been lost, it can only be inferred through the formation knowledge in the "Wanhua Returning Yuan Array".

The key is that in seven days, Zhou Tiance only understood one-third of the content of the "Wanhua Returning Yuan Array", and if he wanted to thoroughly understand this sealing array, he had to understand half of the content of the "Wanhua Guiyuan Array".

The situation was urgent, and Zhou Tiance could only hurry back to Tiandu City to discuss with Ling Hao about borrowing the "Wanhua Returning Yuan Array".

Originally, the scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion were not allowed to be borrowed, but Ling Hao didn't want the sealing array to break out in a short period of time, so he could only use his status as an administrator to take the scriptures out of the Scripture Pavilion and then lend them to Zhou Tiance.

Of course, Ling Hao didn't borrow books for free, so he didn't do this kind of loss.

In addition to asking for a return once a day, Zhou Tiance also had to pay a huge amount of Xuanjing.

Three days later, Zhou Tiance finally understood half of the content of the "Ten Thousand Transformation Returning Yuan Array", and Ling Hao also gained an additional million Xuanjing stones.

By the time Zhou Tiance arrived at the place where the sealing array was located, several ancient fierce beasts had already run out.

Those ancient fierce beasts, each of which was dozens of feet tall, had different appearances, some resembled earth dragons, lions, and apes.

Each beast has very sharp fangs, and although it is extremely large, it is also very fast, not even slower than the movement speed of the strong people of the Tribulation Period.

Fortunately, there were many Immortal Realm powerhouses this time, although those powerhouses almost never showed up on the streets of Tiandu City, but they all participated in this operation.

With only a dozen fierce beasts, the people of the major sects were tortured to death, and the monks below the catastrophe period were killed and injured countless times.

Even if it is an Immortal Realm cultivator, there is no way to quickly strangle those fierce beasts, and it is often a few Immortal Realm powerhouses who join forces to kill a fierce beast.

The tragic battle situation made Zhou Tiance a little dumbfounded, but he also knew that it was not the time to care about casualties, so after rushing back, he started to repair the seal as soon as possible.

By the fourth day, the Great Sealing Array had finally been repaired completely.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tiance, based on his understanding of the sealing array, asked the disciples of the Nine Star Sect to strengthen the seal according to his guidance.

After the seal reinforcement was completed, the fierce beasts that rushed out of the sealing array were finally wiped out.

It seems that the victory has been won, but in fact, the people of the major sects have suffered heavy casualties.

Reinforcement of the seal, that can only be delayed for three years, and after three years, the entire sealing array will completely collapse, and the battle situation will be even more tragic at that time.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood was a little heavy.

Ling Hao only learned about the relevant matters from Zhou Tiance's mouth later, and after learning about the terrifying strength of the ancient beasts, his mood also became a little heavy.

Although he had always told himself that even if the sealing array completely collapsed, he was not worried at all, because the Heavenly Dao Hidden Scripture Pavilion where he was located had the strongest defense in the world, and even if those ancient fierce beasts broke through the seal, they would not be able to cause him the slightest damage.

However, once such a thing happened, the people of the Hidden Dragon Continent, especially the Zhenlong Dynasty, would have to suffer, and the Tiandu City, which was closest to the location of the Sealing Array, would bear the brunt.

Ling Hao was not to the point of compassion, but this kind of thing would not do him any good at all, and it would even affect the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao Scripture Pavilion.

Besides, he didn't have any friends, once the fierce beast broke the seal, his friends in various places in the Qianlong Continent were estimated to suffer.

Worry is inevitable, but he has no way at all, the only thing he can do is to work hard to improve his cultivation and manage the Heavenly Dao Hidden Scripture Pavilion well.

The matter here came to an end for the time being, and the people from the major sects left Tiandu City one after another, each returning to their own sect, and then going out to practice or retreat to cultivate.

Cen Yi, a person who had been in Tiandu City for more than a month, finally said goodbye to Ling Hao and embarked on a journey back to the Qiyun Sect after consulting the "General Outline of Dao Instruments" from beginning to end.

Before you know it, everything is back to the way it was.
